Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that’s involved in ...

Researchers discover a new visual pathway that bypasses the primary visual cortex in mice, a structure previously considered essential to all visual processing. The newly discovered pathway (red).

When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet: The colors of the rainbow are well known to anyone who remembers “Roy G. Biv.” However, scientific research has long shown that such colors are not ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...
